I'm also curious how the LN filter ( which I have installed ) is supposed to eliminate bypass since it mounts on the same location as the stock filter. Bypass is usually a function of the oil pressure relief and the LN doesn't touch that.
Apparently the stock filter housing has a spring and plate in the bottom that also acts as a bypass if the oil is cold enough. My rod and crank bearings were also worn, but evenly (not scratched) from 120K of freeway driving. The chips never made it past the filter in my case.
